Do it in your database, not on the web page. Make a new calculation field

Left[textfield, 100]

or if you want points for style <grin>...

Left[textfield, 100] & If[Length[textfield] > 100, "...", ""]

...this will put "..." at the end of the text to show that there is more.

Display this new calculation field on your web page, not the original.

I have a field I wish to include in a CDML page. Yet I only want it to show the first 100 charaters on my resulting browser page.

I've tried adding maxlength="100" into the CDML and it doesn't work.

Any ideas? Help as always is really appreciated.

Thanks
